No, it's about the double standard, always was. But there's no point in me pointing it out because everyone loves their wacky indy stuff that is cartoonish and will always find a way to justify the hypocrisy around here. So I'm done. So because I find A funny, but don't find B funny, I'm a hypocrite? What if B just doesn't appeal to me, while A does? When did opinion and personal tastes morph into hypocrisy? I didn't get that memo. I can understand your point, especially since I've yet to find a single thing Chuck Taylor has done hilarious, while I have also actually enjoyed some of the Hornswoggle sketches. I guess I'm on the opposite part of this discussion, but I'd hate to be called a hypocrite just because I don't find screaming at children funny (Or in this case a blah overselling of a "grenade explosion") and prefer a good Loony Tunes references (pr the match antics Swoggle has occasionally pulled). |

Okay, new rule: That was funny, but anyone who laughed, including me, cannot bitch about Hornswoggle. I was ready to start forming a mob to storm Connecticut until Simmons came on. The absolute look of bewilderment and astonishment on his face as he examined the painted door is probably my favorite comedy bit of 2007. Funnier to me was Carlito's stammering to try to save face to Ron. |

I think there's a place for pretty much everything in wrestling.
Of course we're never going to all agree on segments, but the fact we're given a variety is something we take for granted.

Oh. Right..so..if say for instance..I find Dave Chapelle funny then I MUST find Chris Rock funny as well too? Right? 'Cause, ya know, they are both comedians. Can't like one and not like the other! BIIIIIG HYPOCRITE.
I think the Chuck Taylor thing is funny. I don't think Hornswoggle is. Simple as that. Guh. Way to ruin a perfectly good thread with finger pointing and accusations.
Hornswoggle: Ruins everything.

I don't like Hornswaggle or Chuck Taylor. Do I win a prize? Yes. You win three taped episodes of I Love Lucy for a BetaMax Player that may or may not arrive in the mail between the next 4-6 decades! Remember...it is Beta....TO THE MAX! |

Because....it's a funny gimmick that usually adds a fun dynamic to the match(especially in six man and up matches), and is usually just good for a couple of comedy spots in what is otherwise basically a wrestling match. And I thought this was about Chuck Taylor and his hand grenades? Why the switch up? No, it's about the double standard, always was. But there's no point in me pointing it out because everyone loves their wacky indy stuff that is cartoonish and will always find a way to justify the hypocrisy around here. So I'm done. Right I dont give a shit either way so Im impartial. WWE presents a serious product more or less set in the real world, the odd stretch of logic is never too far (discounting the Undertaker who isn't played for laughs). Chikara is basically American lucha and presents a tongue in cheek take on wrestling where everyone in the crowd knows what they're being presented is a work jus to entertain them. So when a guy from Chikara plays about like this you're enjoying it because it's a spot for the crowd and everyone knows it, when Hornswaggle paints a hole in a wall and runs through it thats a lapse in the logic in that world and a really unfunny segment. |

I'll ask you this, then I will move on: Did you watch the Hornswoggle segment? If you did, I'll drop the subject entirely. If not, I think you should, then judge it. On the subject of Taylor, I like him, but I think his ability as a heel is often exaggerated. Yelling at kids is fine heat, but I need a little more than that. Hero is more my cup of tea. |
